Sweet, woody and softly floral, Manifesto is a 2012 feminine fragrance from Yves Saint Laurent, created by Anne Flipo and Loc Dong. Everyone who describes it calls it sweet, while most also pick up wood and flowers, and a minority notice a citrus lift.
The opening is brisk: bergamot and black currant give a tart, juicy start, and green notes add a leafy snap. In the heart, lily of the valley brings a clean, dewy floral tone and jasmine sambac a richer, creamier bloom. As it settles, vanilla and tonka bean take over with a warm, almond-like sweetness, held up by cedar for dryness and sandalwood for a smooth, milky finish.
People report moderate to long-lasting wear, and the trail is usually moderate, sometimes strong. Votes split almost evenly between autumn and winter and between day and night, so it works as a cool-weather scent that moves easily from the office to an evening out. It suits someone who likes florals with a dessert-like base.
